HELIOS Automated System for IFA
Ref. GRF-HELIOS-AUTOMATED-SYSTEM-FOR-IFAAn all-in-one system that provides automation for the entire immunofluorescence process from start to finish, including slide processing, reading, sample pre-classification (positive, negative, and pattern) and estimated end-point titer.
About the Product
An all-in-one system that provides automation for the entire immunofluorescence process from start to finish, including slide processing, reading, sample pre-classification (positive, negative, and pattern) and estimated end-point titer.
Increase productivity with a fully integrated, high-throughput system while ensuring laboratory accreditation compliance with a sample and slide barcode reader that traces the entire process. Reduce hands-on time and improve standardization through a completely automated IFA process with this compact all-in-one system.
HELIOS: All-in-one IFA processor and reader. Watch and discover how the HELIOS system combines reliable hardware, intuitive software and quality reagents to tranform the autoimmune testing workspace.

Key Features
- Efficient: Software suggests sample pre-classification positive/negative and pattern for processed slides, which can then be sorted to save time. The patented sample probe with three independent needles improves slide processing speed, prevents slides from drying out, and reduces the risk of contamination.
- Improved Traceability: The barcode readers ensure sample and slide traceability and eliminate time and errors associated with manually entering long patient ID numbers and AESKUSLIDES IFA slides are barcoded with all necessary information (reference, lot, etc.), including a unique serial number.
- Complete automation: HELIOS processor performs all IFA process steps automatically and with its built-in camera performs high-tech autofocus algorithms so that clear pictures from the wells are stored according to user-specified positions. The mounting medium dispenses to complete processing.
- Small Footprint: Maximize lab space with the compact HELIOS system for slide processing and reading in one system with no darkroom required.
